Service virtualisation simulates the behavior of select components within an application to enable end-to-end testing of the application as a whole. Test environments can use virtual services in lieu of the production services to conduct integration testing earlier in the development process, helping companies create more efficient testing environments by eliminating many of the roadblocks that testing teams typically encounter.

This book gives you insight into what it means to leverage service virtualisation in your testing environments, helping you to understand the key challenges that companies face when developing complex applications with multiple dependencies and how you can increase test team efficiency with service virtualisation to enable more sophisticated and accurate testing earlier in the life cycle.
